Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. The National Trust for Scotland is one of the largest landowners in Scotland, owning one per cent of its countryside. Half of the Trust land is designated for its natural heritage in one form or another, one being a World Heritage site - the highest accolade that can be bestowed. This comprehensive title looks at the Trust's credentials for natural heritage management and examines the properties it owns. Could or should the Trust expend its resources equally across its natural heritage responsibilities? How does it fulfill its role as landlord and as part of the local community? These questions and others are answered in this book. The opening chapter briefly discusses the history of the Trust and discusses some of the general countryside management issues of the day with which the Trust has to grapple. There then follows chapters on ten properties which look critically and intimately at their management. The final chapter sums up where the Trust stands today as a natural heritage manager for Scotland and suggests that there is an opportunity ahead for radical change. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.

Large octavo,266 pp.,colour photographs, text illustrations by John Busby , fine copy in dustwrapper. The National Trust for Scotland is one of the largest landowners in Scotland owning 300 square miles, or 1 % of its countryside. Half of the Trust land is designated for its natural heritage in one form or another, several properties are National Nature Reserves, one is a Council of Europe Diploma site and another is a World Heritage Site for its natural heritage - the highest accolade that can be bestowed. Where are these properties? What are the Trust's credentials for natural heritage management? What sort of management is being carried out on these properties and why? How does this management compare to that carried out by other conservation bodies and private estate owners in Scotland? Could, or should, the Trust be doing more and does the Trust expend its resources equally across its cultural and natural heritage responsibilities? Finally, as landlord, how does the Trust regard the role of the local community within its properties and will Land Reform change this role? These and other questions are looked into in this book in an examination of a cross-section of the Trust's Highlands and Islands properties from Mar Lodge Estate to St Kilda and from Ben Lawers to Fair Isle. The opening chapter briefly describes the history of the Trust and discusses some of the general countryside management issues of the day with which the Trust has to grapple. Then follow chapters on ten properties which look critically and intimately at their management. The final chapter sums up where the Trust stands today as a natural heritage manager in Scotland and suggests that there is an opportunity ahead for radical change.
